Jun 06, 2020 20:38 IST

NDA ally Lok Janshakti Party's president Chirag Paswan has slammed Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar over the migrant crisis and said that the situation could have been handled better. Paswan said that generating employment for labourers who have returned to Bihar should be the govt's top priority. Speaking to new agency PTI, he said that he doesn't doubt Nitish Kumar's intentions but there have been some shortcomings. However, he said that LJP is ready to support Nitish Kumar as NDA's CM candidate for state polls next year. Paswan said that his party would support NDA even if it changes the CM face. The BJP has mooted the idea of changing its CM face and reiterated that Nitish Kumar will remain the CM face.
